This weekend, Alan Pardew returned to Upton Park with a rejuvenated Crystal Palace side and won 3-1 to consign West Ham to another defeat. With only one win in their last 10 Premier League games, the Hammers have slipped to ninth in the table and their early season form has completely deserted them.

This, though, was another odd game to sit alongside the recent matches that have ended so frustratingly. With 22 shots at goal, West Ham actually exceeded their season's best total and in a tense 20...

Sam Allardyce is coming under heavy pressure after a run of one win in seven.

Life isn't brilliant for Sam Allardyce and West Ham at the moment. They haven't won in a month, have only secured one victory in their past ten Premier League games and in that time they also apologetically limped out of the FA Cup, beaten 4-0 by West Brom.

Little wonder there's the increasing sense that Allardyce will no longer be West Ham manager in the summer, when his contract expires, with apparently no discussion of a new deal from either Big Sam himself or club owners David Sullivan and David...

West Ham manager Sam Allardyce discusses how a good result against Crystal Palace on Saturday will get his team back on track to challenge the 'Big Boys' in the top six.

After the controversial 2-2 draw with Tottenham, West Ham face another local derby this weekend as ex-manager Alan Pardew returns to Upton Park with his Crystal Palace side.

West Ham fans are generally ambivalent about seeing Pardew back in the dugout at the Boleyn, remembering both good and bad times under the former Palace defender. The erstwhile Boleyn boss had a torrid time when he first arrived at Upton Park from Reading, but he gradually gained respect and promotion, eventually taking the...

West Ham dominated for large parts of the game but ultimately claimed just one point.

West Ham suffered last-minute heartbreak at White Hart Lane as Tottenham came back from 2-0 down to secure a draw with the last kick of the match.

It was far more than Spurs deserved as the Hammers had dominated play throughout and never really looked in trouble, even after the home side pulled a fortunate goal back with just nine minutes to play. When the equalising goal came from a rebound off a saved penalty, Sam Allardyce will have been cursing his luck.

LONDON -- Three thoughts on Tottenham and West Ham's 2-2 draw in the Premier League.

1. Another Tottenham late show

White Hart Lane was understandably a buoyant place given that the home side came back from two goals down to salvage an exceedingly late 2-2 draw with West Ham.

However, the wonder is not that this habit of earning late points -- that's now 16 this season -- is still the trend, but how long it can last? It's almost a contradiction, but in spite of how well they finished this game, Spurs...

West Brom forward Brown Ideye notched a brace in a 4-0 rout of West Ham as the Baggies reached the quarterfinals of the FA Cup.

Right from the day that Sam Allardyce was named as West Ham manager, there has been a significant and very vocal section that have been unhappy with the appointment. It's often been said that West Ham and Allardyce have slotted together like the proverbial square peg in a round hole and the whole marriage has been one of convenience. If that's the case, then there are indications the relationship may soon end in divorce.

Allardyce's contract expires at the end of the season. Despite protests to the...
